“We believe that clients are choosing to transfer their listings to ICC-ES PMG because of our focus on public safety and our high level of customer service, combined with the quality, speed and value,” said Dawn LaFleur Qualley, ICC-ES PMG Senior Program Manager. “Additionally, we provide manufacturers the solution to expand their markets in Canada as well as the United States.”

AFCC offers these products under the following brands: Sigma®, Reserve Collection®, Encore®, O’Neil Ruppel, JesykaTM, Alan Court & Associates, Cote d’ Azur©, Bluewater Manufacturing Corporation®, Taps Etc. Inc.®, St. Filterstop ®, Sonoma Forge®, Franke®, and Water Inc.

“ICC-ES was great at answering all of our questions and concerns quickly and thoroughly during our listing process,” said Adam Davis, Code Compliance Supervisor, American Faucet & Coatings Corp. “ICC-ES also offers quality services at a competitive rate. We highly recommend ICC-ES as a listing agency.”

Code officials in Canada look for the cPMG mark on products before approving for installation, which has resulted in many clients seeking ICC-ES PMG listings. When a project is delayed in the field, manufacturers call ICC-ES for resolution, and receive peace of mind that ICC-ES will do its due diligence in an expedited manner and produce the certification reports that code officials seek.

The ICC-ES PMG Listing Program has wide acceptance in North America and offers significant savings in a number of ways. For instance, the program does not require warehouse inspections or fees for additional company listings. When applying for an ICC-ES PMG listing, ICC-ES can also certify products to AB1953, NSF/ANSI Standard 372, S.3874 (Federal Law for Reduction of Lead in Drinking Water) and the requirements of WaterSense free of charge as an added value.
